The games coding recognizes that Pokémon of two different areas are breeding and therefore changes the shiny rate to become higher. The reason this coding was established was to encourage international trade.

The masuda method is a method used to get shinies faster through breeding. In this method, it multiplies the shiny rates. The shiny charm also raises rates for all the ways to get a shiny (Breeding, wild encounter, shiny methods...)
